Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he met the evidentiary criteria for an individual of extraordinary ability. The AAO determined that the petitioner's tournament placements were not proven to be nationally or internationally recognized awards for excellence. Furthermore, his Go association ranking and participation on a U.S. team did not satisfy the criterion for membership in associations requiring outstanding achievement as judged by experts.
